They measure 28 1/2" wide from arm to arm, 21" in depth, 38" tall with 18" high seats. The sides are 21 1/2" wide and share all the other sizes as the arm chairs.

They come to us from a magnificent Connecticut estate possessing one of the best fine English furniture collections that have come to the market in over a decade. We will be happy to provide their next owner with their significant provenance. We are sorry but this disclosure is not a matter for mere interest. We take a families privacy seriously for both sellers & buyers. The chairs are in excellent condition having been refinished about 30 years ago. They show only the slightest evidence of use. They are equipped with slip cover seats that drop into the seat boxes making changing the fabric a simple task. Something we'd be happy to help you with. The fabric was changed when they were refinished & we note sun fading of the fabric & some minor staining since then. Still more than presentable. They have never seen hard use or abuse & always loved and cherished. We practice a full disclosure policy and you should not accept anything less buying from photographs. We note this for those of you who have not done business with us yet. We find these to be of a superior classic Chippendale form & priced a full $10,000 below any set of 12 on this tier of quality & honestly better chairs by leagues that take all challenges.
